Raymond,

The GPMAP program uses file name templates define in 
$GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl for
plotting the various data types. That is, the file name for CSIG is derived
from the CSIG template in the datatype.tbl, using the file templates to
arrive at the appropriate date/time patterns for files found in that directory.

The $NAWIPS/ldm/etc/templates/pqact.gempak_decoders.in file
provides LDM pattern actions for the dc decoders that match the datatype.tbl
file patterns. If you use the pattern/naming conventions provided
for the LDM, then the datatype.tbl entries will match as well. If you use a 
different
naming convention for the decoded files, you also have to change the 
datatype.tbl file.
